Though our time was short, I know my memory of you will last an eternal lifetime. I love and miss you every day Grandpa - Katelyn R. Stefanich

Dear Kathy & Family,

I just attended a veteran event in Massapequa this evening and was told by Tom Hand that Jim died. After all the history that we shared, I’m devastated, especially knowing that he had finally retired and moved to Texas, something he wanted for a long time. 

I will be sending you a letter with some of my recollections of Jim, but this brief note will fit in the allotted space in this memorial page.

After all these years, I am shocked and saddened by his passing, but I have many cherished memories of a wonderful friendship and the unique person that he was.  We can all treasure the memories of our time with him, and we will all miss his presence.  May he rest in eternal peace.

We just learned of Jim’s passing. Both Arlene and I remember Jim as a kind and good Family man. I personally recall coaching Jim’s son (Jimmy) on the Syosset  Little League team which I managed.
The last time I saw Jim was probably about three years ago when I went to pay my property taxes at Townhall in Oysterbay. He  told me that young Jim had just retired from the police department, and we both had a good laugh about a 40 something -year-old guy retiring when Jim and I were still working.
Our most sincere condolences to Kathy and the rest of the family during this difficult time.
Joe and Arlene  Sherer

Dear Kathy, I can’t begin to say how sorry I am for your terrible loss of Jim.  I can’t stop thinking of all the wonderful days we passed together and all the laughs we all had.  Jim was truly a great guy. Love you Kathy...
